Lemon bath salt

A simple formulation for fresh scented bath salt. The salt base is magnesium sulfate, which is good for the muscles according to some people, but in any case a good bath salt base.

Materials

• 250 g Magnesium sulfate
• 10 drops (± 0,5 ml) HexaCol yellow or green
• 35 drops (± 1,5 ml) EO Litsea Cubeba (org) of EO Lemongrass (org)
• Dropper plastic 1 ml
• Container, e.g. Bottle TUBBY 30 ml – this formulation is for about 7 to 8 TUBBY bottles
  

Instruction

You can mix everything in the jar we provide the magnesium sulfate in, but a large glass or metal bowl and spoon works easier.

Add about 7 drops essential oil to the magnesium sulfate and 2 drops HexaCol. Put the lid on the jar and shake colour and fragrance thouroughly in the salt base (or stir the salt base with a spoon). Repeat and continue adding until you added about 35 drops of essential oil and about 10 drops HexaCol into the magnesium sulfate. A little more or less is no problem.

If the colour is dispersed evenly the fragrance is dispersed evenly too. Put it in the containers, it usualy keeps for at least 6 months.

Tips

• Use a funnel to fill the TUBBY bottles. Our funnels with a diameter up to 60 mm work fine.
• Do not use materials made from wood or plastic to mix, but use glass, metal or well glazed pottery. Colour and fragrance can be washed from hard surfaces, but may be hard to remove from wood and plastic.
• HexaCol can stain skin, clothes, wood, plastic, wall paper … be carefull! In case of spillage: clean asap.
• Essential oil is natural, and this oil is even organic. Still it can damage the eyes and irritate the skin. An allergic response on the skin is possible too. For that reason: make sure to wear safety goggles and protecting gloves. More information can be found on the product page of the raw materials used.
• Do you prefer other colours or fragrances: all water soluble HexaCol can be used (so not the oil green) and many of our other fragrance materials, but not all.
